WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services required hereby and is willing to perform such services for the Issuer and the Delaware Trustee on the terms set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Basic Documents.

SECTION 1. DUTIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.

(a) DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRUST RELATED AGREEMENTS. The Administrator is authorized and directed to execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by such Basic Documents, to the extent not otherwise executed and delivered by the Issuer. The Administrator agrees to perform all its duties as Administrator, the duties of the Issuer under the Trust Related Agreements and to act as calculation agent under the Derivative Products. In addition, the Administrator shall consult with the Delaware Trustee regarding the duties of the Issuer and the Delaware Trustee under the Trust Related Agreements. The Administrator shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and shall advise the Indenture Trustee and the Delaware Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s duties under the Trust Related Agreements. The Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Issuer, or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate persons or entities of, all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions that it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Trust Related Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all appropriate action that is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant to the Trust Related Agreements or under the Higher Education Act.

(b) ADDITIONAL DUTIES.

(i) In addition to the duties of the Administrator set forth above, the Administrator shall perform, or cause to be performed, its duties and obligations and the duties and obligations of the Delaware Trustee on behalf of the Issuer under the Trust Agreement.

(ii) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Administrator and to each successor Administrator appointed pursuant to the terms hereof, one or more powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, appointing the Administrator the attorney-in-fact of the Issuer for the purpose of executing on behalf of the Issuer all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions.

(iii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Administration Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions or otherwise deal with any of its affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer or the Delaware Trustee and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

(iv) In carrying out any of its obligations under this Administration Agreement, the Administrator may act either directly or through agents, attorneys, accountants, independent contractors or auditors and enter into agreements with any of them.

(i) With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not be under any obligation to take any action, and in any event shall not take any action, unless the Administrator shall have received instructions from the Delaware Trustee or the Depositor. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall mean:

(A) the amendment of or any supplement to the Trust Related Agreements;

(B) the initiation of any action, claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer, except for actions, claims or lawsuits initiated in the ordinary course of business by the Issuer or its agents or nominees for the collection of amounts owed in respect of Financed Eligible Loans;

(C) the appointment of successor Administrators hereunder, successor Delaware Trustees under the Trust Agreement and successor Indenture Trustees pursuant to the Indenture, or the consent to the assignment by the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture;

(D) the removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee; and

(E) the amendment, change or modification of this Administration Agreement or any Trust Related Agreement, except for amendments, changes or modifications that do not either (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, or collections of payments with respect to the Financed Eligible Loans or (2) materially reduce the underwriting standards with respect to the Financed Eligible Loans.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Administration Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not (A) make any payments to the Registered Owners under the Trust Related Agreements, (B) sell the Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture or (C) take any action that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf.

SECTION 2. STATEMENTS TO REGISTERED OWNERS. Two days preceding a Quarterly Distribution Date, the Administrator shall provide to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) solely for the purpose of having the Indenture Trustee, and in the

case of the Reset Rate Notes shall cause the London Paying Agent, to forward on such Quarterly Distribution Date to each Registered Owner of record, a statement to noteholders in the form described in Section 4.20 of the Indenture or such other form as may be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on this instruction with no further duty to examine or determine the information herein.

SECTION 3. ANNUAL STATEMENTS AS TO COMPLIANCE; NOTICE OF DEFAULT; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

(a) The Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and to the Rating Agencies within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year of the Administrator, a certificate of an officer of the Administrator (an “Officer’s Certificate”) dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Administrator during the preceding 12-month period (or, in the case of the first such certificate, during the period from the Closing Date to [ ], [•]) and of its performance under this Administration Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Administrator has fulfilled its obligations in all material respects under this Administration Agreement or, if there has been a material default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such material default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of each such Officer’s Certificate and each report referred to in Section 2 hereof may be obtained by any Registered Owner by a request in writing to the Indenture Trustee addressed to its Corporate Trust Office, together with evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such Person is one of the foregoing parties.

(b) The Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event earlier than (15) Business Days prior to such default, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default of the Administrator hereunder.

(c) The Administrator shall provide to the Trust within 90 days after the end of each calendar year a report on its assessment of its compliance during the preceding calendar year with those servicing requirements for asset-backed securities described in Item 1122 of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for which the Administrator has responsibility under the terms of this Agreement in the form required by Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

(d) The Administrator shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants to deliver to the Trust within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, an attestation with respect to the Administrator’s assessment of compliance described in paragraph (c) above in the form required by 1122(b) of Regulation AB.

(c) BINDING OBLIGATION. This Administration Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(d) NO VIOLATION. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Administration Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the charter or bylaws of the Administrator, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Administrator is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Trust Related Agreements); nor violation of any law or, to the knowledge of the Administrator, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Administrator of any court or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Administrator or its properties.

(f) ALL CONSENTS.

SECTION 5. LIABILITY OF ADMINISTRATOR; INDEMNITIES.

(a) The Administrator shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Administrator under this Administration Agreement.

(b) The Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Registered Owners and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Issuer from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, misconduct or bad faith of the Administrator in the performance of its duties under this Administration Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or thereunder.

(c) The Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee and the Delaware Trustee in their individual capacities and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties under the Indenture and the other Trust Related Agreements. The Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder and under the other Trust Related Agreements. The Administrator shall defend the claim and the Administrator shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee after it has assumed such defense; provided, however, that, in the event that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and the Administrator in conducting the defense of such claim, the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to separate counsel the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Delaware Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s or Delaware Trustee’s, as applicable, own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity and any of its officers, directors, employees and against any and all liability relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any claim that the Financed Eligible Loans (or any guarantee with respect thereto) are delinquent, uncollectible, uninsured, illegal, invalid or unenforceable, as of the date of acquisition;

(ii) any claim that the Financed Eligible Loans have not been made, administered, serviced or collected in accordance with applicable federal and state laws or the requirements of any Guarantee Agency, as of the date of acquisition; or

(iii) any claim that any original note or other document evidencing or relating to the Financed Eligible Loans has been lost, misplaced or destroyed, as of the date of acquisition.

(e) For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of the Administrator (or any successor thereto) as Administrator pursuant to the terms hereof or a resignation by such Administrator pursuant to this Administration Agreement, such Administrator shall be deemed to be the Administrator pending appointment of a successor Administrator pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Administration Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Administrator shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Administrator, without interest.

SECTION 6. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF ADMINISTRATOR AND OTHERS.

The Administrator and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

(b) Except as provided in this Administration Agreement, the Administrator shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that

shall not be incidental to its duties to administer the Financed Eligible Loans and the Trust Estate in accordance with this Administration Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Administrator may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Administration Agreement and the other Trust Related Agreements and the rights and duties of the parties to this Administration Agreement and the other Trust Related Agreements and the interests of the Registered Owners under the Indenture and this Administration Agreement.

SECTION 7. ADMINISTRATOR MAY OWN NOTES. The Administrator and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Administrator or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Trust Related Agreements.

SECTION 8. RECORDS. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Registered Owners, the Delaware Trustee and the Depositor at any time during normal business hours.

SECTION 12. NO JOINT VENTURE. Nothing contained in this Administration Agreement (a) shall constitute the Administrator and any of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Depositor as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity; (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them; or (c) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.

SECTION 13. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its or their sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 14. TERM OF AGREEMENT; RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF ADMINISTRATOR; WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

(a) This Administration Agreement shall continue in force until the dissolution of the Issuer or replacement of the Administrator, upon which event this Administration Agreement shall automatically terminate.

(b) Subject to Section 14(e) and (f) hereof, the Administrator may resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer, the Delaware Trustee, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee with at least 60 days’ prior written notice.

(d) Subject to Section 14(e), (f) and (g) hereof, the Administrator may be removed immediately upon written notice of termination from the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Registered Owners of not less than 25% of the Highest Priority Obligations to the Administrator if any of the following events shall occur:

(i) the Administrator shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this Administration Agreement and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such default within five days (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, the failure to give, within ten days, such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer);

(ii) the commencement by the Administrator of a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or other similar official, making a general assignment by the Administrator for the benefit of its creditors, the Administrator declaring a moratorium with respect to its debts or failure by the Administrator to generally pay its debts as they become due; or

(iii) the commencement in respect of the Administrator of an involuntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or seeking by the Administrator of the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar law, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, provided such action is not dismissed within 60 days.

The Administrator agrees that if any of the events specified in clause (ii) or (iii) of this Subsection (d) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Delaware Trustee, the Registered Owners, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies within five Business Days

after the happening of such event. The Administrator agrees that it will not commence or consent to the events specified in clause (iii) without the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Delaware Trustee for so long as any Note is Outstanding.

(e) No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section 14 shall be effective until (i) a successor Administrator shall have been appointed by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Registered Owners of not less than 25% of the Highest Priority Obligations (with the consent of the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee) and (ii) shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Administration Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Administrator is bound hereunder.

(g) With respect to Section 14(d) above, the Registered Owners of a majority of the Highest Priority Obligations may waive any default by the Administrator which does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Registered Owners. No waiver of any Administrator default pursuant to this Section 14(g) will impair the rights of the Registered Owners of a majority of the Highest Priority Obligation to exercise rights with respect to future Administrator defaults pursuant to Section 14(d) above.

SECTION 15. ACTION UPON TERMINATION, RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof or the resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 14(b) or (c) hereof, respectively, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination, resignation or removal.
